I think AA is an awful airline with a horrible corporate culture. If friends and family ask for my opinion I always advise them to buy a ticket on other airlines (JetBlue, Spirit, a foreign airline, etc.) because I know that they will enjoy their travel experience much more that way.

However, they also pay quite a bit more then other jobs out there. So as for me, as much as I despise the manner in which AAG is run, I'm sticking around. Money talks.
